Serial No. 428.552

18 Claims. romeo-e48) In the above formula 11. represents an integer and is at-least 1 and not more than 2, Z represents a member of the class consisting of oxygen and sulfur, Y represents a divalent carbocyclic radical, 20 and R represents a member of the class consisting of hydrogen and monovalent hydrocarbon and substituted hydrocarbon radicals, more particularly halo-hydrocarbon radicals. Since 11. represents an integer which is 1 or 2, it will bejfi seen that the linkage of the carbocyclic-carbamyl-alkyl or carbocyclic-thiocarbamyl-alkyl grouping to the sulfur atom in all cases will be alpha or beta to the carbocyclic-carbamyl or -thiocarbamyl grouping. It also will be observed that linkage of the triazinyl grouping to the sulfur atom is through a carbon atom.

Illustrative examples of radicals that R in the above formula-may represent are: aliphatic e. g., methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, allyl, butyl, secondary butyl, isobutyl, butenyl, amyl, isoamyl, hexyl, etc), including cycloaliphatic (e. g., cyclo-1 pentyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexyl, Y cyclohexenyl, cycloheptyl, etc): aryl (e. g., phenyl, diphenl or xenyl, naphthyl, eta); aliphatic-substituted aryl e. g., tolyl, xylyl, ethylphenyl, propylphenyl, isopropylphenyl, allylphenyl, 2-butenylphenyl, tertiary-butylphenyl, etc.); aryl-substituted aliphatic (e. g., benzyl, phenylethyl, phenylisopropyl. cinnamyl, etc); and their homologues, as well as those groups with one or more of their hydrogen atoms substituted by, for example, a halogen, specifically chlorine, bromine, fluorine or iodine. Specific examples of halogeno-substituted hydrocarbon radicals are chloromethyl,

' III chloroethyl, chlorophenyl, dichlorophenyl, iodophenyl, fluorotolyl, chlorocyclohexyl, ethyl chlorophenyl, phenyl chloroethyl, bromoethyl, bromopropyl, bromotolyl, etc. Preferably R in Formula I is hydrogen. However, there also may be produced in accordance with the present invention compounds such, for instance, as those represented by the general formulas i ma i 7| rum-o dsc.H1.cNR-Yooon and, more particularly.

where 11, Z, Y and B. have the same meanings as above given with respect to Formula I.

Illustrative examples of divalent carbocyclic radicals that Y in Formulas I, II and III may represent are: divalent aryl, e. g., phenylene, xenylene, naphthylene, etc.; divalent aliphaticaryl, e. g., 2,5-toluylene, 1,4-dimethyl 2,3-phenylene, etc.; divalent cycloaliphatic, e. g., cyclopentylene, cyclohexylene, cyclohexenylene, cycloheptylene, etc.; and their homologues, as well as those divalent carbocyclic radicals with one or more of their hydrogen atoms replaced by a substituent, e. g., halogeno, amino, acetyl, hydroxy, acetoxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, sulfamyl, alkyl, alkenyl, a-COOR group or groups in addition to the single -COOR group shown in the above formulas, etc. Specific examples oi substituted divalent carbocyclic radicals are chlorophenylene, bromophenylene, chloronaphthylene, bromonaphthylene, bromo 2,5-toluylene. chlorocyclopentylene, chlorocyclopentenylene, hydroxyphenylene, ethoxyphenylene, acetoph nylene, acetoxyphen'ylene, bromocyclopentylene, methylphenylene (toluylene) allylphenylene, etc. Preferably Y is phenylene or methylphenylene.

The new compounds of this invention may be used, for example, as pharmaceuticals, plasticizers and as intermediates in the preparation of derivatives thereof such as hydrazo, hydrazino, carbazido, semicarbazido, ureido, amidine,

methylol, etc., derivatives of the individual compound embraced by Formula I. These new organic sulfides are especially valuable in the preparation of synthetic resinous compositions. Thus, they may be condensed with, for instance, aldehydes, including polymeric aldehydes, hydroxy aldehydes and aldehyde-addition products, to yield condensation products of particular utility in the plastics and coating arts. Such condensation products are more fully described and are specifically claimed in my copending application Serial No. 428,585, flied concurrently herewith now Patent No. 2,312,704, issued March 2, 1943, and assigned to the same assignee as the present invention. Those compounds wherein R in the -COOR grouping represents a hydrogen atom advantageously may be used as such, or in the form of theiralkylol (e. g., methylol) derivatives, as agents for accelerating the converslon of thermosetting or potentially thermosetting aminoplasts (e. g., urea-formaldehyde resins) to an insoluble, infusible state. These new organic sulfides also may be compounded with rubber,- both natural and synthetic, to modify the properties of the rubber.

Various methods may be employed to produce the chemical compounds of this invention. I prefer to prepare them by a process which comprises effecting reaction between a diamino [(-N'HR):] mercapto symmetrical triazine (s-triazine) and a carboxy-, carboaliphthaticoxy- (including carbocycloaliphaticoxy-) orcarboaromaticoxy-carbocyclic-carbamyl or. -tlfiocarbamylalkyl halide in the presence of a hydrosalide acceptor, e. g., an alkali-metal hydroxide. When a carbon (-COOH) -carbocyclic-carbamyl or -thiocarbamyl-alkyl halide is used as a starting reactant and the proportions of reactants and reaction conditions are such that the hydrogen atom of the -COOH group of the carboxycarbocyclic compound is replaced by the residue of the hydrohalide acceptor, e. g., by an alkali metal, the carboxy compound desired as a final product is obtained by treating this intermediate product with hydrochloric, hydrobromio, sulfuric or other suitable inorganic or organic acid in an amount Just suflicient to form the desired carboxy derivative.

Illustrative examples of mercapto diamino striazines that may be used, depending upon the particular end-product desired, are:

6 -isopropyl- Z-mercapto 4-phenylchloroethylamino G-phenethylamino s-triazine Z-mercapto 4-chloroanilino fi-ethylphenylamino s-triazine 2-mercapto 4-cycloheptylamino fi-isopropylphenylamino s-triazine 2-mercapto 4-isopropylanilino fi-phenylpropylv amino s-triazine Z-mercapto 4-amino fi-bromoethylamino s-triazine 2-mercapto 4-amino G-methylamino s-triazine 2-mercapto 4-aminoanilino G-ethylphenylamino s-triazine 2-mercapto 4-amino G-benzylamino s-tr'iazine Illustrative examples of carboxy-, carboaliphaticoxyand carboaromaticoxy-carbocyclic-carbamyl and -thiccarbamyl-alk'yl halides that may be employed, depending upon the particular endproduct sought. are:

The ortho-, metaand para-carboxyphenyl-carbamyl chloro methanes The ortho-, metaand para-carboxytolyl-carbamyl bromo methanes The ortho-, metaand para-carboxyphenyi-thiocarbamyl chloro methanes The ortho-, metaand para-carboalkoxy (e. g.,

carbomethoxy, carboethoxy, carbopropo y, carbobutoxy, etc.) phenyl-carbamyl chloro methanes The ortho-, metaand para-carboaroxy (e. g.,

carbophenoxy, carbonaphthoxy, etc.) tolyl-carbamyl chloro methanes Alpha (para carboxyphenyl carbamyl) betachloro ethane Alpha-(meta-carboxyphenyl-thiocarbamyl) alpha-chloro ethane Alpha (ortho-carbomethoxytolyl-thiocarbamyll beta-chloro ethane Alpha-(para-carboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl) alpha-chloro ethane Alpha- (ortho-carboxyphenyl carbamyl) alphachloro pentane Alpha (para carbobutoxytolyl thiocarbamyl) beta-chloro hexane Ortho carbopropoxyphenyl-(methyl) -carbamyl bromo methane Para carbophenoxyphenyl (ethyl) carbamyl chloro methane Alpha (4-carbopentoxynaphthyl-[1]-carbamyl) beta-chlor butane Alpha-(para-carbophenoxy chloro phenyl-carbamyl) alpha-ethyl beta-phenyl beta-bromo ethane Carboxytolyl-carbamyl cyclopentyl chlpro methane Carboethoxytolyl-(butyl) -carbamy1 bromo methane Para carbomethoxyphenyl -(cyc1opentyl) thiccarbamyl chloro methane Ortho carbophenoxyphenyl -(chloroethyl) carbamyl chloro methane 4-carboxycyclohexyl-(phenyl) -carbamyl methane Alpha- [para-carboethoxy chloro phenyl-(bromophenyl) -thlocarbamyl] alpha-chlorocyclohexenyl beta-chloro ethane 3-carbobutoxycyclopentyl-carbamyl tolyl chloro methane Alpha-[4-carboxy 2-chloro cyclopentyl- (xenyl) carbamyl] alpha-chloroxylyl beta-chloro ethane Alpha-(para-carboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl) pha-iodo omega-chloro pentane chloro Various hydrohalide acceptors may be employed. I prefer to use a hydrohalide acceptor that will react with the mercapto triazine to form a water-soluble salt. Examples of such acceptors are the alkali-metal hydroxides, e. g., sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc Additional examples of hydrohalide acceptors t'hat may be used are otherinorganic bases, e. g., calcium hydroxide, barium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, etc.; carbonates of inorganic bases, including the carbonates of alkali metals; organic amines such as tertiary amines, e. g., trimethyl amine, triethyl amine, tributyl amine, pyridine, dimethyl aniline, quinoline, etc.: quaternary ammonium bases, e. g., tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide, etc.; and the like.

The reaction between the mercaptodiamino s-triazine and the chosen carboxy-,

carbarnyl or -thiocarbamyl-alkyl'halide may be carried out in any suitable manner, but preferably is effected in the presence of a suitable solvent or mixture of solvents. Although various solvents and solvent mixtures may be employed, for economic reasons and because of their eminent suitability I prefer to use water or a mixture of water and alcohol. The reaction may be carried out under a variety of temperature and pressure conditions, for instance at normal, sub-normal or at elevated temperatures and at atmospheric, sub-atmospheric or super-atmospheric pressures.

From the foregoing description it will-be seen that the present invention provides a method of preparing chemical compounds corresponding'to the general formula NHR IV Z

wherem. represents an integer and is at least 1 and not more than 2, Z represents a member of the class consisting of oxygen and sulfur, Y represents a .divalent carbocyclic-radical, and R represents a member of the class consisting of hydrogen and monovalent hydrocarbon and halohydrocarbon radicals, said method comprising eilecting reaction, in the presence of a hydrocarbo-" aliphaticoxyor carboaromaticoxy carbocyclichalide acceptor, between (1) a mercapto triazlne where R has the meaning above given, and (2) a halide corresponding to the general formula where X represents halogen, and 11, Z, Y and R- have the meanings above given.

The new chemical compounds of this invention also may be prepared by a process which comprises efiecting reaction between a-halogenated diamino s-triazine and a carboxy-, carboaliphaticoxyor carboaromaticoxy-carbocycliccarbamyl 0r -thiocarbamyl mercapto alkane in the presence of a hydrohalide acceptor. This reaction preferably is carried out in the presence of an anhydrous solvent. An anhydrous solvent, e. g., alcohol, is desirable because one of the reactants, namely, s-triazine, is hydrolyzable. The other conditions for preparing the compounds of the invention may be the same as described above with reference to the first-mentioned method of preparation.

In order that those skilled in the art better may understand how the present invention may be carried into efiect, the following illustrative examples are given. All parts are by weight.

Example 1 This example illustrates the preparation of.

A small moleculanexcess of sodium hydroxide and thloammeline over the amount of paracarboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl chloro methane was used in order to insure complete utilization of the latter. The thioammeline was added to a solution of the stated amount of sodium hydroxide in 2,000 parts water and the resulting mixture was heated. This resulted in the formation of the sodium salt of thioammeline. After cooling to room temperature the para-carboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl chloro methane was added to the solution of the sodium thioammeline. The mixture was stirred rapidly. Reaction began almost immediately with the formation at first of a compound having a dull, conglomerate type of crystalline structure as contrasted with the starting halide reactant, which was a glistening, sharply defined crystalline material. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes and then heated. After heating for 1 minute a sudden reaction took place in which the entire mass was converted into a thick, milky precipitate. The mixture was allowed to cool with stirring for 25 minutes and then was allowed to stand without stirring for about 16 hours. The precipitated solid comprising paracarboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl-methyl sulfide was filtered off, washed free of water-soluble salts and dried. The purified sulfide had a melting point of 112-l13 C. and began to decompose with discoloration at a temperature of G. (Thioammeline neither melts or decomposes below 275 C.) Unlike thioammeline the diaminc striazinyl para carboethoxyphenyl carbamylthe halogenated diamino methyl sulfide does not dissolve in an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. The sulfide also has none of the vesicating characteristics of paracarboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl chloro methane.

The above reaction may be illustrated by the following chemical equations:

Diamino s-triazinyl orthoand meta-carboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl-methyl sulfides are prepared in essentially the same manner as described above with particular reference to the preparation of diamino s-triaz inyl para-carboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl-methyl sulfides with the exception that 161 parts of orthoor metacarboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl 'chloro methane is used instead of 161 parts of para-carboethoxyphenyl-carbamyl chloro methane.

Example 2 Di (methylamino) s triazinyl paracarboethoxyphenyl carbamyl methyl sulfide is prepared in essentially the same manner as described under Example 1 with the exception that, instead of 106 parts thioammeline, an equivalent amount of mercapto di-(methylamino). s-triazlne is employed.

Example 3 methoxy,

just sufiicient to make the mass neutral to litmus. The precipitated solid then is filtered ofi,

washed and dried as in Example 1.

Example 4 Diamino s triazinyl carbophenoxy (ortho-, metaor para-carbophenoxy) phenyl-carbamylmethyl sulfide is prepared in essentially the same manner as described under Example 1 with the exception that, instead of 161 parts para-carboethoxyphenyl carbamyl chloro methane, an equivalent amount of carbophenoxy (ortho-, metaor para-carbophenoxy) phenyl-carbamyl chloro methane is employed.

Example 5 Diamino s-triazinyl carboalkoxy (e. g., ortho-, metaor para-carbomethoxy, -carboethoxy, etc.) tolyl-carbamyl-methyl sulfide is prepared in essentially the same manner as described under Example 1 with the exception that, in place of 161 parts of para carboethoxyphenyl carbamyl chloro methane, an equivalent amount of carboalkoxy (e. g., ortho, metaor para-carbo- -carboethoxy, etc.) tolyl-carbamyl chloro methane is employed.

Example 6 .Diamino s-triazinyl alphaor beta-(paracarboethoxyphenyl carbamyl ethyl) sulfide is prepared in essentially the same manner as describe uncler Example 1 with the exception that, inste of 161 parts para-carboethoxyphenylcarbamyl chioro methane, an equivalent amount of alpha (para carboethoxyphenyl carbamyl) alphaor beta-chloro ethane is used.
